1st (2) (10/11 +74%) Dunstan |
10/11(+74%) | (2) Dunstan 10/11, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in a first-time visor in 5-runner minor event (17/2) at Southwell (12.1f) 23 days ago. Has shown the odd quirk or 2 but should give his running. Beaten off lower marks in handicaps but hard to dismiss after the visor worked last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (13/8 +60%) Bradman |
13/8(+60%) | (3) Bradman 13/8, C&D winner in January and again ran well when second of 6 in handicap (15/8) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 15 days ago. Respected back up in trip despite being 4 lb out of the weights. Dual C&D winner and just found out by a sharper test over 1m2f at Lingfield. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 +58%) Pearl Sands |
5/1(+58%) | (4) Pearl Sands 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (8f). Off 159 days. Bred to be suited by the much longer trip now handicapping but is 6 lb out of the weights. 6lb out of the weights for handicap debut but this longer trip could make a difference. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MAJED confirmed the promise that he had shown on his first two starts when getting off the mark over an extended mile here in November. The second from that contest won next time out, which suggests that an opening mark of 85 may underestimate this son of Magna Grecia. Dunstan has to be interest following his success at Southwell, while Bradman is the clear pick of the remainder.
MAJED was strong at the finish when seeing off a subsequent winner in a course novice back in November and is the obvious choice to follow up on this switch to handicaps with the longer trip likely to suit. Bradman has had a good time of things this winter and is preferred to Dunstan for forecast purposes.
The Gosden colt MAJED made fairly light work of a subsequent winner in his novice here and he has the most potential of these.

1st (3) (3/1 +14%) Big Dream |
3/1(+14%) | (3) Big Dream 3/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 11/4, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 22 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Creditable efforts over 1m in his last two starts and he's respected back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (13/2 +19%) Bungle Bay |
13/2(+19%) | (6) Bungle Bay 13/2, Course winner. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 5/1). Off 102 days. Merits consideration. Dual course winner who was a rallying third at Lingfield (6f) last time; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/2 +30%) Spring Romance |
7/2(+30%) | (2) Spring Romance 7/2, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Good third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 12/1) 2 days ago. Not discounted. Much more encouragement the last twice, notably when third at Southwell on Thursday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 -71%) Kondratiev Wave |
12/1(-71%) | (5) Kondratiev Wave 12/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 2/1, last of 6 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 26 days ago. Others make more appeal. Last win was in 2021 and he's been out of sorts for some time; needs to turn things around. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (11/1 +31%) Metal Beau |
11/1(+31%) | (9) Metal Beau 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at this C&D 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others have achieved more. Unexposed 4yo but he needs a transformation on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5/2 +58%) Nordic Glory |
5/2(+58%) | (1) Nordic Glory 5/2, Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 8/1) 15 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Close third off this mark at Lingfield last time but he's untried at 7f; mixed messages. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (9/1 +25%) Vivency |
9/1(+25%) | (8) Vivency 9/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, eighth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.6f) 7 days ago. Others more persuasive. Overall record of 2-30 and her form dipped here last time; others look stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (80/1 -344%) Savannah Song |
80/1(-344%) | (10) Savannah Song 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Julia Feilden when last of 12 in minor event (250/1) at this course (9.5f). Off 119 days. Back down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Handicap newcomer but she needs plenty of improvement after 119 days off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (125/1 -279%) Wilpena Pound |
125/1(-279%) | (12) Wilpena Pound 125/1, Ninth of 10 in minor event (80/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Out of the frame in all 15 starts under rules and can only be watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
NORDIC GLORY was a close third off this mark over 6f at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and reproduction of that performance should be good enough to take this moderate event. Big Dream has shown promise on his last couple of starts and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Blue Collar Lad and Bungle Bay are also noted.
BLUE COLLAR LAD is on a handy mark and, while he's not been with his current yard long, he's worth a chance to make a successful start for them having run respectably over C&D 19 days ago. Big Dream looks a threat and there's reasons to expect a big run from Nordic Glory.
It might be worth siding with dual course winner BUNGLE BAY, who returned to form with a rallying third at Lingfield last time.

1st (6) (28/1 -180%) Strictly Dreaming |
28/1(-180%) | (6) Strictly Dreaming 28/1, Cheekpieces on first time, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 16 days ago. 0-14, but could be given a chance on latest third in better race at Chelmsford. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6/1 -50%) Big Narstie |
6/1(-50%) | (3) Big Narstie 6/1, Course winner. Latest win here in January. 9/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 2 days ago. Can make presence felt. Improved for blinkers; third in a 0-65 handicap at Southwell on Thursday; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (8/11 +42%) Charlatan |
8/11(+42%) | (1) Charlatan 8/11, Big improver on AW this year who goes in search of a quick 4-timer after wins at Kempton, Lingfield and over C&D. Likely capable of better again and very much the one to beat. Came from well back to win over C&D a week ago; taken seriously in bid for the four-timer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (18/1 -50%) Stop On Red |
18/1(-50%) | (2) Stop On Red 18/1, Latest win at Catterick in August. Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (1m, 50/1), nearest finish. Off 99 days. Makes tapeta debut. Off three months, but is proven fresh; worth a second look back down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (150/1 -355%) Overland |
150/1(-355%) | (9) Overland 150/1, Poor form. Eighth of 9 in classified event at Chelmsford (6f, 150/1) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to make a case for. Has shown precious little in eight starts; impossible to fancy back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (15/2 +38%) Haalim |
15/2(+38%) | (7) Haalim 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded first time, below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 22/1) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Tongue strap back on. Out of the frame in all five starts in Ireland but Rossa Ryan an interesting booking. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/3 +26%) Romanovich |
10/3(+26%) | (4) Romanovich 10/3, C&D winner in January. 7/4, creditable second of 10 in C&D handicap 32 days ago, running on. Likely to give another good account. First and second in his last two starts over C&D; one of the likelier winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 -313%) Ashmore |
66/1(-313%) | (8) Ashmore 66/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 22/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford 8 days ago. Fourth over C&D in December, but has regressed since and now 0-16. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Charlatan has to be respected given his recent victories but he faces a much stiffer test now switched back to handicap company. With that in mind, preference is for STRICTLY DREAMING, who was third over a mile at Chelmsford last time and a 1lb lower mark should only help her here. Romanovich edges out Aeroplane Mode to be best of the rest.
CHARLATAN stands out as an unexposed improver in this line-up and can make it 4 in a row. Romanovich and Big Narstie arrive in good form and can give him most to do.
Preference is for BIG NARSTIE who finished third in a 0-65 at Southwell on Thursday.

1st (1) (6/4 +14%) Lough Leane |
6/4(+14%) | (1) Lough Leane 6/4, 11/2, won 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 8 days ago. Did well to get up having still had plenty to do 2f out so a 3 lb rise may not stop him. Produced a telling turn of foot to make a successful return at Chelmsford recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 +0%) Calcutta Dream |
7/2(+0%) | (5) Calcutta Dream 7/2, Latest win at Chelmsford in January. 5/2, unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 19 days ago, hampered 1f out. Shortlist material. Won at Chelmsford last month and looked unlucky last time; a player if getting a good pace. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (12/1 -20%) Van Zant |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Van Zant 12/1, Sole win from 23 starts came over 7f here in December. 8/1, creditable third of 10 in classified event at Southwell (7f) 12 days ago. Up in trip. 1-23; fair third last time but stamina for this far remains unproven. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (13/2 +19%) Star Of St Louis |
13/2(+19%) | (4) Star Of St Louis 13/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Fifth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this course (9.5f) 33 days ago. Dual winner here late last year, but out of the frame back here the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 -38%) Kemerton |
11/1(-38%) | (6) Kemerton 11/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap (7/1) at this course (9.5f) 32 days ago, not ideally placed. Should be thereabouts if in similar form. 0-14 but form of latest third here has worked out well; worthy of consideration. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (16/1 +0%) Beau Geste |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Beau Geste 16/1, Former C&D winner but has largely struggled since his latest win at Lingfield just over a year ago. Three wins here, but he needs to improve on his efforts since returning in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (9/1 -50%) Havana Goldrush |
9/1(-50%) | (3) Havana Goldrush 9/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 7 in C&D handicap 19 days ago. C&D winner who has dropped 12lb below his last winning mark but losing run is up to 14. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (10/1 +0%) Hazel Bear |
10/1(+0%) | (2) Hazel Bear 10/1, Still a maiden but did go close over 9.5f here last month. Not disgraced when seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11f) 18 days ago. Down in trip. 0-12; went close over 9.5 here two starts back, but not sure this trip is ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (100/1 -614%) Descendant |
100/1(-614%) | (9) Descendant 100/1, Course winner but has a whopping 1302 day absence to overcome. Best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. 1-33 and not seen since July 2020; market should be revealing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LOUGH LEANE looked a very unlikely winner at the two furlong pole at Chelmsford last time, but he came from the clouds to get up by half a length and a 3lb rise looks more than fair. The four-year-old could prove a different proposition now that he's got his head in front. Kemerton was denied just under three lengths into third over an extended 1m1f here last month and can go well, while Van Zant completes the shortlist.
David Simcock looks to hold a strong hand in the second division of this handicap too, with LOUGH LEANE selected to make light of a 3lb rise for last week's Chelmsford success. Calcutta Dream didn't enjoy the rub of the green here last time and is second choice ahead of Kemerton.
The choice is LOUGH LEANE who produced a telling turn of foot when making a successful return at Chelmsford eight days ago.

1st (9) (11/2 -10%) Make A Scene |
11/2(-10%) | (9) Make A Scene 11/2, Twice-raced filly. 66/1, offered more than on debut when third of 8 in maiden at Kempton (1m) 14 days ago, headway 2f out before her effort flattened out. May do better still, particularly in handicaps. Stepped up on debut when third over 1m at Kempton 14 days ago; place claims again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (6/4 +33%) Mon Etoile |
6/4(+33%) | (10) Mon Etoile 6/4, Lightly-raced filly who went a long way to confirming improvement showed previously when second of 9 in maiden (11/2) at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago, shaken up 2f out and keeping on. Repeat here can see her in the mix. Twice runner-up over 1m in recent weeks; another prominent showing is on the cards. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (3/1 +67%) Knewone |
3/1(+67%) | (6) Knewone 3/1, Sogann colt who attracted support but ultimately offered little when eleventh of 12 in a Yarmouth novice (7f) sole start as a juvenile for Charlie Johnston. Market may prove a useful guide following 6 months off. Up in trip. Green when well held on Yarmouth debut for Charlie Johnston last summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (13/2 -160%) Naughty Niall |
13/2(-160%) | (1) Naughty Niall 13/2, Thrice-raced gelding. Showed much more than previously when second of 10 in maiden (150/1) at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago, headed final 100 yds and no extra. Up markedly in trip now. Much improved when second over 6f here 14 days ago; should be thereabouts with repeat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (12/1 -100%) Absolutely Not |
12/1(-100%) | (8) Absolutely Not 12/1, €17,000 foal, €19,000 yearling, Calyx filly. Dam lightly raced out of useful 1m winner (stayed 11.5f) Wadaat. Yard can ready a newcomer and the betting should prove a useful guide as to expectations. The betting should guide to expectations with this one on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (80/1 -220%) Ormering Tide |
80/1(-220%) | (7) Ormering Tide 80/1, Once-raced gelding. 66/1, ninth of 13 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 10 days ago, soon off bridle and losing place before home turn. Up in trip. More one for the longer term judged on his recent 7f Kempton debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (22/1 -175%) Remonstrate |
22/1(-175%) | (2) Remonstrate 22/1, Dark Angel colt. Half-brother to French 14.5f winner Rain. 11/1, held back by inexperience when sixth of 8 in Kempton maiden (1m) 2 weeks ago, running green 2f out and not knocked about. Entitled to progress. Beaten 13l when sixth on recent debut; needs to have come on a lot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (33/1 -136%) Dream Big Eireann |
33/1(-136%) | (4) Dream Big Eireann 33/1, €8,000 yearling, Barraquero gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Shandy Star. Dam ran once. Market should prove a useful guide on racecourse bow. Half-brother to five winners but probably best watched on this debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (28/1 -75%) Exceptionality |
28/1(-75%) | (5) Exceptionality 28/1, Once-raced colt. Seventh of 9 in minor event (28/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 24 days ago, very slowly away. Up in trip. Probably one for handicaps later on. Lost hs chance at the start on last month's 7f debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MON ETOILE represents a trainer who is firmly on the hot list, and she can make a bold bid to go one place better than when finishing runner-up over a mile at Kempton earlier this month. Naughty Niall was only collared late on when attempting to make all at a huge price over 6f here, but this step up in trip doesn't look to be the most obvious move. Absolutely Not is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of her debut.
TATATEO showed much improved form following 5 months off/also gelded when runner-up in a C&D novice event 4 weeks ago, pulling clear with another fairly useful prospect. Open to further improvement, this may well prove a good opening for him to get off the mark. Mon Etoile and Make A Scene head up the dangers.
The vore goes to MON ETOILE ahead of Make A Scene and Naughty Niall.

1st (1) (4/1 -14%) Max Vega |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Max Vega 4/1, Good second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 15/8) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Makes tapeta debut. Triple Group 3 winner who was runner-up in a similar race at Kempton last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (8/1 +0%) Aqwaam |
8/1(+0%) | (6) Aqwaam 8/1, Latest win at Newcastle in November. 6/4, creditable second of 5 in handicap at this course (14f) 8 days ago, clear of rest. In-form 6yo but this is a big step back up in grade and his last win was at 2m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/3 +58%) West End Charmer |
10/3(+58%) | (3) West End Charmer 10/3, Proved he retains plenty of ability when third of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (12f) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. On dangerous mark and was just behind Max Vega when third at Kempton last time; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/2 +36%) Nolton Cross |
7/2(+36%) | (4) Nolton Cross 7/2, C&D winner who proved as good as ever when coming out on top in 10-runner handicap (16/5) at Southwell (12.1f) 43 days ago. Likely to go well again. All five wins have come on Tapeta and latest was at Southwell last month; 3lb higher here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/4 +0%) Vaguely Royal |
9/4(+0%) | (5) Vaguely Royal 9/4, Three wins from 7 runs last year, including when scoring with plenty in hand in 7-runner handicap at this C&D 70 days ago. 3 lb rise looks lenient and may not be done improving. Made it 2-2 on AW when scoring over C&D latest and he's open to more progress; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (22/1 -633%) Zealot |
22/1(-633%) | (2) Zealot 22/1, Successful on 7 of 9 starts for current yard, latest win coming in 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford (10f) when last seen 11 months ago. Has won fresh before so highly respected. Back from a lengthy absence but he's 7-9 for Mick Appleby and is respected upped to 1m4f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
VAGUELY ROYAL did what was required to justify odds-on in this grade over C&D in December and he was put up 3lb for that victory. The Galileo gelding is improving rapidly and he can take this before moving up the class ladder. Zealot has proven to be a revelation for the Michael Appleby yard and it would be no surprise to see him get involved off 3lb higher than his latest success at Chelmsford. Nolton Cross is another to note.
VAGUELY ROYAL has taken well to the all-weather and still looks on a good mark following a 3 lb rise for his latest win, so he's put forward as the answer to an interesting handicap. Zealot thrived upon joining Mick Appleby, winning 7 of his 9 starts and, although he has an 11-month absence to overcome, he's won fresh before so warrants the utmost respect. Nolton Cross is another likeable type who ought to remain competitive.
An interesting race in which the vote goes to the progressive VAGUELY ROYAL, who made it 2-2 on AW when scoring over C&D last time.

1st (3) (3/1 -20%) Doctor Khan Junior |
3/1(-20%) | (3) Doctor Khan Junior 3/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 7 runs last year. 9/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 39 days ago by ½ length from Intervention, driven out. Progressive sort who makes most appeal again. Winner of five of his last seven starts and appears to be progressing fast. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/6 +72%) Kingdom Come |
5/6(+72%) | (1) Kingdom Come 5/6, Three wins from 6 runs last year. 5/1, good third of 7 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good). Off 7 months. Makes tapeta debut. Merits consideration. 3-3 at Kempton early last year; proven fresh and shouldn't have an issue with Tapeta. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (33/1 -371%) Trip To Rome |
33/1(-371%) | (7) Trip To Rome 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 11-runner minor event at Kempton (7f, 9/4), easily. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Ed Dunlop. Makes handicap debut. Definitely of interest. Makes his stable/handicap debut after nine months off; market may reveal what is expected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 +0%) Chuzzlewit |
12/1(+0%) | (5) Chuzzlewit 12/1, 5¼ lengths ninth of 13 to Doctor Khan Junior in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 7/1) 39 days ago, merely closing up late. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Finished behind three of these at Southwell last time; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 -14%) Follow Your Heart |
8/1(-14%) | (6) Follow Your Heart 8/1, 3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 12 runs last year. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 29 days ago, left poorly placed. Tongue strap back on. Needs a strong pace. Three-time C&D winner, but still 5lb above his last winning mark and looks vulnerable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/1 -125%) Intervention |
9/1(-125%) | (2) Intervention 9/1, 3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 20 runs last year. 5/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Hood back on. Worth considering.4 Has been a revelation since returned to the AW in the autumn; likely to run his race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (16/1 -60%) Master Zoffany |
16/1(-60%) | (4) Master Zoffany 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in December. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 4/1) 13 days ago. Not dismissed. C&D winner; something to prove after a poor effort at Newcastle last time. |

8th (8) (20/1 -11%) Darwell Lion |
20/1(-11%) | (8) Darwell Lion 20/1, Course winner. Hooded for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 16/1) 18 days ago. Others have achieved more. 2lb below last winning mark, but 1m preferable; may find this a bit warm in any case. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
KINGDOM COME has the class to see him through in this company, despite having to concede 9lb and more to his rivals under top-weight. Having just his ninth career start, the selection is 3-3 on the all-weather (all at Kempton) and, assuming he isn't inconvenienced by the surface on his Tapeta debut, the Clive Cox-trained gelding can further enhance that statistic. Doctor Khan Junior, who seeks a four-timer, is fancied to hold off Follow Your Heart and Intervention for second.
DOCTOR KHAN JUNIOR is a likeable type who arrives on a hat-trick and he boasts solid claims of adding to his tally for all that it's a strong race on paper. Intervention has enjoyed an excellent winter and another bold showing is expected from him, while Follow Your Heart can come into it if the pace is strong.
The vote goes to DOCTOR KHAN JUNIOR (nap) who has won five of his last seven starts and seems to be progressing fast at the age of five.

1st (1) (3/1 -20%) David's Diva |
3/1(-20%) | (1) David's Diva 3/1, On a hat-trick after 1m wins at Southwell and Kempton in recent months. Scored with a bit in hand at the latter track so a further 3 lb rise looks fair. Made it 2-3 in handicaps when scoring at Kempton latest; big player again back in trip. |

2nd (5) (10/3 +45%) Circles |
10/3(+45%) | (5) Circles 10/3, C&D winner in January but only sixth of 9 back here since. Won over C&D on her penultimate run and is a big player if she can recapture that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/4 +39%) Harriet's Angel |
11/4(+39%) | (2) Harriet's Angel 11/4, Winner at Kempton in January. 5/2, creditable fourth of 10 in C&D handicap 14 days ago. Should give another good account. Won at Kempton last month and things didn't go her way over C&D last time; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (18/1 -80%) Powdering |
18/1(-80%) | (10) Powdering 18/1, 7/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 23 days ago. Creditable fourth there prior to that. Looks competitive on form. Won at Hamilton last June but she's 0-10 since and others are more convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -108%) Capuchinero |
25/1(-108%) | (3) Capuchinero 25/1, Latest win at Chelmsford in November. 4/1, last of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 8 days ago. Visor on first time. Bounce back needed. Not easy to predict and has been well held in last three runs; now returns to 7f in visor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/2 +31%) Soi Dao |
11/2(+31%) | (4) Soi Dao 11/2, Just third outing for this yard when scoring over 8.6f here in January. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 11/2) since. Player if as effective back down at 7f. Win and good second here in last two runs and she's respected back at 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (20/1 -233%) Dolores Abernathy |
20/1(-233%) | (8) Dolores Abernathy 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at this course (6f) 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed now handicapping and one of the more interesting contenders. Some ability in maidens (6f/7f) and she needs watching in market on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (9/1 +36%) Autumn Angel |
9/1(+36%) | (6) Autumn Angel 9/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. Respectable third here next time but latest effort back at Southwell was poor. Won at Southwell last month but she was laboured after a slow start there last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (66/1 -230%) Rose Fandango |
66/1(-230%) | (7) Rose Fandango 66/1, C&D winner for Scott Dixon in 2022. Off 6 months, well held at Yarmouth last April (only start for Julia Feilden). Off a further 10 months ahead of this first outing for John O'Shea. Betting should guide. C&D winner but she returns after another layoff and has something to prove for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (100/1 -400%) Rumailah |
100/1(-400%) | (11) Rumailah 100/1, Well held in maiden/novice events in 2022. Off for 17 months ahead of this handicap debut. Could only consider if backed. Unexposed mare but she has plenty to prove after 513 days off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (22/1 -57%) Maruna |
22/1(-57%) | (9) Maruna 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Newcastle in November. Ninth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Chelmsford (1m) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Still lightly raced but she needs to kick on again on this drop back in trip; headgear on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DAVID'S DIVA impressed when winning over 1m at Southwell in December, before following up with a cosy success over the same trip at Kempton most recently. Raised just a further 3lb, the Rod Millman-trained filly has little to fear from dropping to this trip, although Harriet's Angel won over the distance at Kempton two starts ago and can at least make this a good test. Circles and Soi Dao complete the shortlist.
The draw could have been kinder to DAVID'S DIVA but she still looks well treated after a 3 lb rise for Kempton and can make it 3 in a row. Harriet's Angel is another who has been in good form lately and is second choice ahead of unexposed handicap newcomer Dolores Abernathy.
Several have possibilities but the hat-trick seeking DAVID'S DIVA gets the vote ahead of Soi Dao and Circles.
Ths is the racecard key.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
